Newcastle defender Davide Santon admits he would consider a move to AC Milan despite being happy on Tyneside.

Talking to the Gazzetta dello Sport Santon said: “I’m really happy in Newcastle, I like the city, the club and the atmosphere. I’m also engaged to Chloe and we’re expecting a baby in May. I live like a king in Newcastle and I have a contract until 2016.”

About a possible return to Italy Santon added: “A return to Italy? At Newcastle I’m a king and I have a contract until 2016. But I’ve heard of the interest from Milan in me and that is really pleasing because I have been a Milan fan since I was a child. I’m not sure what would happen if another Italian club came in for me, but I’d seriously think about packing my bags for Milan.”

Santon admits the presence of former Inter Milan team-mate Mario Balotelli at AC Milan would make it an even more attractive proposition to join the Rossoneri.

"Balotelli? We were still friends and I’m glad he’s doing well at Milan, his presence would be an incentive to accept AC Milan."
